It seems that winter has arrived in an instant, and as soon as the winter snow arrives, the birthday of the snow has arrived.

At the age of fifteen, when it came to the year of the contemplation, the rural people did not have the same rules as the big families in the city, and a grand contemporaneous ceremony should be held on the day of the women's condiment. If there is a surplus at home, on the day of the hairpin, he will make a hairpin to make a new clothes and invite a good friend to drink a cup of birthday wine, and the family is poorer and has no money to play a silver hairpin, but also carve a few wooden hairpins and make a big bowl of longevity noodles with two eggs lying on the head.

Not counting the three children who died in front of them, Chen Xueru is the first child of Li and Chen Xiucai. The first child, and a delicate girl's family, should have been more pampered, but Chen Xueru has followed the Li family and Chen Xiucai for so many years, growing up with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and has done a lot of work, and the blessing has not been enjoyed at all.

Not only Xueru, but the children of the entire Dafang family have not enjoyed happiness when they are not separated. Even the youngest Qi Ping, at a young age, carried a bamboo basket on his back, walked on his short legs, went to the field to collect firewood, when the sweet potato harvest on the mountain, followed his brothers and sisters to carry sweet potatoes, others did not move on their small backs, with a pair of small fat hands, one at a time and two at a time to the mountain, a small face rubbed like a small cat.

Qi Ping is the youngest or a boy is not favored, let alone Xueru.

When the family was not separated, Chen Xueru not only helped the Li family with housework, but also helped Mrs. Chen to do a lot of work. I don't know if it's true or false, Mrs. Chen said that only Xueru gave her the most suitable temperature for washing her feet, and only the pimple soup that Xueru mixed for her was the best. In order to make satisfactory shoes for Mrs. Chen, I don't know how many needles were pricked on my hands, and when I got wet, it was hot and painful. I was afraid that the Li family would be worried, so I didn't dare to tell the Li family.

is now separated, Mrs. Chen still asks Xueru to make her a pair of shoes from time to time, but she doesn't like her, and she has to point to Sang and scold Huai, and later Chen Xuejiao scolded her a few words, so that Xueru didn't let her hands touch her shoes.

Li Shi thought of Xueru's suffering. told Xuejiao's children about the past, and couldn't help but redden: "It's enough for that person to torture me, how can I say that I am also a daughter-in-law." Serving her mother-in-law is right, she actually started Xue Ru's idea, how old Xue Ru is, so she brought a footbath bigger than her to wash your feet, the water was too hot. Burn your hands. Fortunately, there were no scars, and when I think about what happened at that time, I feel sorry for Xueru. ”

Chen Xueru was quietly doing her work on the side, and when she heard this, she smiled gently, as if the difficulties of the past did not exist.

Chen Xuejiao is a grudge, although she holds a grudge, she is also reasonable: "Now we are separated." There will never be the same days as before, and our filial piety is filial piety. But you can't rely on milk for everything, and I see that the problem with milk is what everyone used to do before. ”

If no one is used to her, see if she dares or not. For example, ten days ago, Mr. Chen wanted to give Xue Ru a golden hairpin, Mrs. Chen felt uncomfortable, scolded for most of the night, Mr. Chen ignored her and did not compromise, she scolded and scolded and rested, and did not set off any moths on the second day.

"Who said no, I'm just too naïve, at that time, I always thought that your father was a showman, we were reasonable people, and we couldn't be the same as her, but your milk became more and more serious to us. In the final analysis, it is not good for the mother, and blindly compromising and forbearance will make your milk more and more oppressive. Li's eyes were filled with tears, this year, she figured out one thing, filial piety is not forbearance, nor obedience, but justified resistance.

Chen Xuejiao nodded, agreeing with Li's statement. If Li and Chen Xiucai had made their bottom line clear at the beginning, why would they be so miserable.

This year, their family separated, Chen Xiucai went out to run goods, and the Li family opened an embroidery workshop in the town, and the vision was not limited to a small place in the Chen family's compound, but was broadened to the outside. The more information Li was exposed to, the more he felt that his previous ideas were stupid and stupid. Don't say anything else, let's just say that the show girls in the embroidery workshop, which one is not living a bad life in her mother-in-law's house, rising up to resist, would rather be with peace than live such a humiliating day, leaving her mother-in-law's house, relying on her own hands, you can also support yourself.

"Mother, let's not talk about the sad things in the past, let's talk about my sister's birthday arrangement." Chen Xuejiao smiled and changed the topic.

"That's fine." Li's face showed a joy, the eldest daughter had a good appointment, and now that her birthday is here again, how can she not be happy.

What to do with the birthday was discussed as early as ten days ago, Li thought that Xue Ru was a small hardship to a big one, and in previous years, eating an egg on her birthday would have to be picked up by Mrs. Chen, that is, after the separation, she wore a few new clothes and a few new ones, and this day is getting better and better, and she is getting married again. Although it is said that when I arrived at the Han family, I lived a life of wealth in the town, but in the end, it was my mother-in-law's family, and my actions were not as comfortable as my mother's family, and the first thing in my heart was my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, where could I take my turn, although the Han family didn't care about this, but you couldn't care about it.

Thinking about it this way, Li felt more and more that he owed too much to Xueru, so he decided to take care of this year's birthday. Although I don't learn from the grandeur of the people in the city who set up a stage to watch the play and set up a dozen banquets, it should also be celebrated. The clothes were cut a long time ago, and I made five sets of clothes for Xue Ru in one go, with skirts and jackets, and for the first time, I spent a lot of money to cut a set of leather for Xue Ru. Let Chen Qi'an draw up a list and set the people to invite, the Li family and the Wenying family must be invited, as well as the Han family and Qingbi, as for the people in the village, they only invited a few families who were good friends with the Li family, counting the people, plus the Chen family's own people such as the third room and the upper room, and the four tables of banquets were enough.

In the past few days, Chen Xueru has been a little absent-minded, as if she has something on her mind.

Since the last time I heard Mrs. Cai say that the second room wanted to give Chen Xuemiao to Han Xingjian, Chen Xueru remained silent in front of everyone, and she turned around and returned to the house, and fell softly on the couch for a long time without getting up. Although she and Han Xingjian exchanged marriage letters, it is a sure thing to marry in the future, but the more this happens, the more suspense in her heart becomes. She is a girl's family, she is so big when she is young, and she is a childhood sweetheart with Han Xingjian, both of them know each other's intentions, but they never show it. When it came to the engagement, it was also the parents who proposed the official media, and they never confided in each other a sentence or two, she was afraid that Han Xingjian's feelings for her were an illusion. I didn't treat her as a fiancée, but as a sister. When she thought about it, it was like being soaked in bitter water, and she was about to stay at home at home with a fifteen-year-old girl except for work, and she didn't know who to talk to when she had a thought in her heart.

When I slept at night, I always suspected that Han Xingjian knew that the second room was going to give Chen Xuemiao to him, and I suspected that Han Xingjian didn't know now, and I didn't know if I would be proud if I knew it in the future. In short, I couldn't sleep well every day. The chin became more and more pointed, and the pair of shoes made for Han Xingjian were also crooked. The bottom is also oblique.

I don't know how many tears have been shed behind my back.

In front of the Li family, the spirit is even stronger, and the Li family let her family account also take care of it, and marry into the Han family in the future, and the Han family is not as good as the Chen family. People have accumulated family business for so many years. The foundation is thick, the Han family has such a son as Han Xingjian, if he marries a daughter-in-law and can't take care of the accounts, how can he do it over time.

Han Xingjian has been in good spirits since he made a kiss, and he puts a smile on his lips every day, and he can't shout out this joy in his heart to others, regardless of whether he is related or irlevant, he knows that he is married.

In school, I know that Han Xingjian's sister is Chen Qi'an's sister. One by one, they often joked about the two of them, and Han Xingjian had a good temper. I don't care, I accept it with a smile.

Among them, there is a young child who will enter school this year, and it is indeed Zhao Er, the youngest son of Zhao Butcher. Zhao Er, like his brother Zhao Da, gave his mother's kiss, he didn't like his grandmother and father, after he entered the school and learned some etiquette, he looked down on his father and grandmother's style even more, and he had the closest relationship with Chen Qiping in school, so he naturally knew that Han Xingjian and Sister Qiping were engaged.

On this day, he saw Han Xingjian's smiling face, where did the villain know so much, and said to Han Xingjian with a smile: "My grandmother said that you were originally my second cousin-in-law, but now you have become Qi Ping's eldest brother-in-law." ”

When Han Xingjian heard this, his face turned pale, and he pulled Zhao Er to ask carefully, and with this question, he knew that Zhao Er's second cousin was Chen Xuemiao, and he was angry at the moment.

Xue Ru a smiling face flashed in front of her eyes, and she didn't know if she knew about it, and it was not easy to ask Chen Qi'an, so she didn't have the heart to study all afternoon.

I don't know if Xueru's second aunt made her own assertions, or if the cousin had something in mind and wanted to break up the marriage, no matter which one it was, it was a slap on Chen Xueru's face, if this was spread out, wouldn't people say that Xueru had dismantled her cousin's good marriage.

Obviously there is nothing to splash snow like sewage.

Han Xingjian often ran to Chen's house, in the past, for the friendship with Chen Qi'an, after he was engaged to Xueru, he didn't go often, for fear that others would chew Xueru's tongue behind his back. When did Zhao take a fancy to her, and when did he want to kiss him? She couldn't even remember Chen Xuemiao's appearance, Han Xingjian took a breath, if the matter was big and shouted, it would not be that the Chen and Han families had no face.

didn't wait to get out of school, gave Huang Xiucai leave, quickly packed up his things and went home, opened the door, and went straight to his mother Zhou's upper room with a smoke, and stomped his feet when he entered.

The maid who was waiting next to her rubbed her forehead, and it was easy to lie down on the Luohan bed for a while, only to be clear for a moment, and when she saw Han Xingjian entering the house, she stomped her feet, and thought that Bi Tao asked him to say that this is the most painful sister who is a brother, every time she just opened her mouth to list the big truths to Bi Tao, this one who is a brother is protected inside, and said impatiently: "What, you two want to be angry with me, you don't want Bi Tao to intercede today, if you don't embroider the leaves, don't eat the rice." ”

"Mother, did Xueru and her second aunt ask a matchmaker to propose to me to his second daughter." Han Xingjian hurriedly said it.

"What? What kind of charter is this? Zhou got up from the bed, sent the little maid, and asked with his son's hand.

Hearing Han Xingjian learn Zhao Er's words word for word, the corners of his forehead jumped, he almost couldn't sit up, and slammed the bed and broke out: "Cheap embryo, and she still has the face to propose to us, she doesn't know that our family has set up Xueru." She covered her chest angrily, she had seen the second room and the second girl a few times, and she forgot what she looked like, but she only remembered that her black nose and eyes were crowded together, and she could match her own son by virtue of her appearance? What's more, she also has a sister who is a concubine. The second room of the Chen family really has such a big face, and when he got up, he didn't care about changing his clothes, and he walked to Daliutang Feng Matchmaker's house, and he didn't take a girl anymore, and the fewer people who knew, the better.

Han Xingjian was angry in the room, his face was silent, and the frightened maid who poured the tea hurriedly retreated. Her mind was full of Xueru, although this matter had nothing to do with her, it did make her feel a little aggrieved.

When Zhou returned from Mrs. Feng's house, there was no anger on his face. This thing can't be done accurately, there is no marriage on the left and right, and there is no eight characters, even if Mrs. Zhao and the second room of the Chen family make a fuss, it will be their face that is lost.

It's just that I don't know if the Chen family's big house knows about this, she was still happy to receive the Chen family's big house for Xueru's birthday, and wanted to take advantage of Xueru's fifteenth birthday to mention to the Li family to set the wedding date, preferably earlier than the day discussed before. There lived in a street, and several ladies of her age all hugged their grandchildren. Today, I went to Mrs. Feng's house, Mrs. Feng was hugging her one-year-old grandson, moving a pair of little short legs to learn to walk, she hugged the grandson and shook it, as if she was happy, she also wanted to hug such a big grandson.

It's not easy for such a thing to happen, this thing is very good, she herself believes that her son can't even see whether Xue Miao is round or flat, but if it reaches the ears of the Chen family, I don't know what kind of thing will happen.

After thinking about it, she sighed angrily, Bi Tao watched her mother go out in a hurry through the door, and hurried home, seeing that her face became more and more solemn, and she didn't dare to say that she didn't embroider, so she was so frightened that she went into the house and twisted the embroidery needle to make a look.

"Mother, Xueru knows over there?" Han Xingjian asked in a trembling voice.

This thing can be big or small, to put it big, it's not just a kid who promised two relatives.

"I don't know about this, Mrs. Feng swore that she didn't reveal the news, but she can't keep others from saying it, Zhao Er's kid can tell you, and you can not tell Qi Ping." Zhou Fu forehead.

Han Xing turned around in a hurry, when dinner was set, he didn't have the heart to eat, he couldn't wait to have wings under his armpits, and immediately flew into Chen's house, saw Xue Ru, and confessed his heart.

"It's Xueru's birthday these days, and today I received a post from the Han family, and I'll come to the door tomorrow for Xueru's birthday, and first probe your wife's tone, if they don't know, if they know that they are making other plans." Zhou Shi took a sip of tea, the food on the table did not move, and frowned, "I just don't know, I will also tell your master and wife about this, in case she knows about this from the mouths of others, it should be bad."
